I am still trying to be a wife, mom & business woman. And recently added runner to the mix. I used to run before the kids & before I met my husband and I enjoyed it. So I decided enough is enough it's time to shed this baby weight and what better way than to start running. And thus my running career has started up again.
I was sidelined with an injury right away that I tried to self diagnosis with help of the internet. Gotta love google! However, after many weeks of walking on pins & needles I broke down and visited the podiatrist. What a life saver he is!! I actually told him I wanted to "kiss him" because I walked out of his office with a fully taped up foot but no pain.
Fast forward 4 weeks and I have now bought a good pair of running shoes, orthodics and am 75% better. Enough that today I went running with some friends. We did 2.67 miles and it felt good. I have been running on my treadmill and let me tell you running outside HUGE difference! And pushing a baby stroller - NOT a jogging stroller also makes the running more difficult. But I finished & I feel good.
I signed up for my first 5K since well before kids & as of today have gotten 5 friends to run it with me!! And get this 4 out of 5 of them have never run before and it will be their first 5K, how exciting is that?
So all this to tell you, I am back and really truly hope to be back blogging more regularily again.
